Ensuring the accurate assessment of medical devices in the post market phase is critical. The implications of this assessment, place importance on the health and safety of patients, the viability of the business, both in terms of marketing and any resulting litigation or recall of the product. Significantly, the regulations concerning medical devices in the post market phase require life cycle management of all the product characteristics and thereby continuous assessment of risk.
The risk of the product determines whether a Post Market Clinical Follow Up or a Registry Study is required. Vigilance Reporting is necessary to analyze the data from clinical studies to determine the safety of the device.
This webinar discusses Post market Clinical Follow- up studies and Device Registries. It describes the choice of the two types of studies and the issue of risk. Vigilance reporting is important when assessing the safety and performance of the device. All of the data attained on the device whether it is from clinical studies – a PMCF or Registry as well as Vigilance Reporting needs to be integrated into the risk management documentation so an accurate assessment can be made on the medical device.
